(Proverbs 26:4,5) "Do not answer a fool, according to his folly, or else you will be like him. Answer a fool, according to his folly, or else he will think he is wise." These proverbs indicate that people's mockery should be responded to, on a case by case basis. There is no 'one size fits all.'
Exactly right. And I think this can be used as an example of the wisdom found in the Bible, because it shows that it (well, God) knows how people really are. It would be easy to give the "one size fits all" answer.

The mocking, scoffing and insults of atheists only remind me that they really don't want people to be free to believe whatever they want and that they recognize that there must be something to all of this if they're so negative about Christianity and are willing to devote so much time to it. Their verbal attacks reinforce my faith and bring to mind what Jesus says about them and us. "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. John 15:18-19

The current cultural undertow seems to be all about majoring in minor issues and ignoring the more important major issues. How pertinent the Bible again proves to be for every generation and time.
Maybe it's because I deal mostly with internet atheists. but in all my years I can only remember I think one or two who actually wanted to discuss issues. The rest have always been trolls who waste my time and have zero interest in actual discussion.
@Zeke Bean Great question. I will be glad to answer. And feel free to ask me additional questions anytime. I am an atheist. I define the term as a position of suspending acknowledgement of the existence of gods until sufficient evidence can be presented. I have no good reason to acknowledge the existence of gods at present. I can list 10 facts as to why I have no good reason if you are interested. If you would like to know my background, feel free to ask anything you would like. I will ask you the same question, if that is ok. What are your beliefs and how did you arrive at them?
@@theoskeptomai2535 Please read Dr. Edward Feser's 'Five Proofs of the Existence of God.' Interesting to note that hard philosophical argumentation on that topic leads to the same divine attributes of God the Bible describes throughout its 66 books, written by 40 men, over a period of 1500 years, I.e. consistent. Also, there is no need to discuss 'gods,' since there is only ONE truth God, who is worthy of worship. Any other being would necessarily be a 'creature,' like you and me, created and therefore contingent on God's creative power (or to put in other terms, requiring a cause outside of its existence). I would also challenge you to examine DNA. Is it simply a random collection of chemicals, or is it inherently specified complexity? Now, ask yourself: can you find ANY examples of specified complexity/information (I.e. instructions) that is accidental, with no intelligence behind it, and that can be repeated?
@@nemesis3329 I have read it in its entirety when it came out a few years ago. Also read "The Last Superstition" (a very effective rebuttal of Dawkin's "The God Delusion"). Is it _really_ surprising to you that there are numerous western classical philosophers whose arguments invoke _similar_ divine attributes as those attributed to the Abrahamic god. Do you actually find this fact substantiates the existence of this god? Are you stating that the attributes of the god depicted in the bible remains consistent *_throughout_* these 66 books? If you are, stating such, you are delusional. So before I continue any discussion with you, I want to make sure I misunderstood you. So please answer the previous question.

It is an interesting trivia fact that classical philosophy on God's existence, without any reference to the Bible, concludes with the same divine attributes. As for being delusional about God's divine attributes not being in the Bible, I am not sure what you're talking about.

I don't have 50 minutes to go through all of this, but I will say that like any group - or person- with an opinion, you are entitled to have your voice heard without being mocked. It is however important to be able to tell the difference between someone engaging your assertion with a legitimate question, counterpoint, or offering evidence which contradicts your claim... and somebody who is being a 'troll' If you don't want to have your opinions and assertions challenged, you can post them on a website that doesn't permit feedback, or you can put them in a book. Here where the rest of us interact, when a person makes an unfounded assertion, they will usually get called out on it.
@G Will - well here's one now. "Athiest" is not a position of making a claim [therefore cannot be "called out"] it is the position of not having enough reasonable evidence to support the claimed belief. When a person claims to believe in Bigfoot, and the atheist asks "on what evidence", and there is none... the atheist is not making a claim, they are pointing out that position of making that claim is unjustified, or dishonest. There may be people on here making claims, but it has nothing to do with the position of being an atheist.
@@thebigone3437 Hopefully you do your own research and not just listen to what is publicly said. Mainstream media, Hollywood, politicians, accredited universities all not only push the same message but their funding comes from the same source. Even many pastors are false teachers thanks to 501 C3 in the tax code, making them puppets of the government. Archaeology in Egypt points to the wrong date, evidence exits for the exodus but is in the wrong century. Why, what anchors their current date, the secular date, do you know. The Bible, that is their secular anchor date, an error in understanding but they refuse to even look. So the Bible sets a date to disprove the Bible and they call it a scientific issue.

@UCU7wSsxHC1w8QZD5WrFYA5w To understand the other side. Some, if not most atheists used to be religious, some very religious. I can't say for myself, since I'm an exception to other atheists, but from what I understand, what's being said in the churches wasn't clicking with them due to the hypocrisy within the church vs the Gods described character. Some deep within the church even read the bible front to back which exacerbates cognitive dissonance because of how the book is written, what's being preached, and what's actually in the Bible. The cognitive dissonance, freaks them out due to the threat of Hell, but they press on to clear their doubts, so they learn what the other side has to say, whether it be from science communicators, atheist channels or science papers hoping to clear their doubts. But in the end reality says a completely different story and they become an atheist. When I said I was an exception, I meant it. I was in highschool watching Christian doomsday channels for a few months, they were messing with my psyche and all I saw was evil where there was none. A few months after I started watching them, I snapped out of it like a switch was flipped, and I became an atheist.
The new testament for me is my guide on what to follow. If it's mentioned there it's worth a note, to answer the 1st question. Most importantly the Holy Spirit will teach you how to navigate life. He is our teacher, that's one of His main purposes (for lack of a better definition). Get close to Him and life is easier to navigate
Generally speaking, if someone is to the point that they are mocking Christianity I just end the conversation. They aren't interested in conversation at that point. Only reinforcing their position. Best you can do for someone is probably praying for them. Just my opinion. Love them and pray for them. 🙂🙏
I kinda wanna agree... I certainly understand why you would have that position, but... Even if GOD hadn't already asked us to spread the word in defiance of the World's resistance, I'd say that there is still a point where you are to keep the conversation going. That point being where they are obviously getting something wrong, to the point where they are ignoring what historian's/Science is saying that agree's with Christianity.
Steve Parks It really depends on the conversation. A lot of the arguments we get in here quickly become fruitless. Our job is to share the gospel. God takes care of the rest. And if they reject it we move on.
@@Paulthored again I agree. Just depends on the situation. We have to let the Holy Spirit lead us. Sometimes there's a time to speak and sometimes a time to be silent. If we are sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit he will let us know. God bless. 🙂👍🏻
"They aren't interested in conversation at that point. Only reinforcing their position." From my point of view its Christians that aren't interested in a conversation. In fact many times its like talking to a brick wall. Like the Adam and Eve story, I can point out the problems and why its immoral. Christian will do mental gymnastics trying to justify their gods actions. There are real problems with the Christian religion. But Christians refuse to see them. I know because I was an indoctrinated Christian for over 30 years. Its not about truth with religious people, its about validating your preconceived beliefs.
Awww. God Bless you Satan Christ. May the Water of God flood your lungs until you are drowning in the Glory of Almighty God, and may the Fire of the inferno liberate and purify your soul.

@The Comedian Romans 12; 19-21 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Regarding those who reject Christianity: one of my favorite Frank Turek sayings is asking if a person is on a relentless pursuit of truth or on a quest for personal happiness? The mockers of Christianity typically have little to no reason for rejecting it, other than it doesn't comport with their chosen lifestyle. The very rare atheist that desires truth, when pressed, usually will admit that at some level "I just don't like the idea of there being a god/gods/God." . That's when Frank's other best line comes in: "If Christianity were true, would you believe it?" I don't ever hear a 'yes' in response to that, which basically means a person lost the logical debate and it's a matter of the heart, not the head. . As a Christian, I will never refuse to believe something that is true. I will question, debate, scrutinize, and rigorously test....but if at the end of the day all the evidence and logic points to "X" being true, I will believe X. To do otherwise is insane.
I'm on a search for truth first, personal happiness second. I simply could not be happy believing in a delusion, so truth takes priority. "The mockers of Christianity typically have little to no reason for rejecting it," We have plenty of reasons for rejecting it. You have no reasons for accepting it except that it makes you happy. You are not on a quest for truth. "If Christianity were true, would you believe it?" Yes. "I don't ever hear a 'yes' in response to that" I'm sure you have heard a "yes" response to that many times, which basically means you cannot support your beliefs with logic and have to rely upon lies. "As a Christian, I will never refuse to believe something that is true." That's not the problem. The problem is the low bar you set for believing something is true. " I will question, debate, scrutinize, and rigorously test" As a Christian, no you will not. You do not question your beliefs, nor do you test them. Your beliefs are based on faith, not evidence and reason. "if at the end of the day all the evidence and logic points to "X" being true, I will believe X." Like all Christians, you like to pretend you have evidence but if asked to provide it you will either come up blank or you will reveal that you have no clue what "evidence" is.

19:20 yes but the scripture tells us that we need to go and preach the Gospel to every creature and speaking in front of the crowd is the best possible way to witness to much people at the same time. Jesus did it and the apostles did it same we see today people are doing just that no matter the hate and rejection even insult they get, I think God honors that the most :)
@Daw Wad tell me one thing, would it be loving from God if He forced you into heaven to be with Him? No, God respect our choices and He does not choses who is going to heaven or hell. We all have someone which we are not in a good relationship or maybe we know someone and they both hate each other, now God does not hate people,He hates sin but imagine if those two people would be together. They would not talk or look at each other and in some cases a fight would start. God is giving everyone a choice and you to,if you want Him then He offers you salvation as free gift but if you reject it then God cant do nothing against your free will.
@Daw Wad What is determined it will happen no matter our choices. You cant say God control our choices then you would say God is evil for causing it but our free will does it,not Him. He has a plan which He planed and it will come to pass no matter the choices we make. Sin is originally disobeying God and you cant make a square circle because it does not make sense. God designed humans to be with Him to know Him and to do His will because its the best for us but if we chose not to then we do our will that goes against what God intended and opposite of good is evil,there is no third option. God cant force you to obey Him. If you know the story about pharaoh and moses how God hardened pharaohs hearth but later is says that pharaoh himself hardened it. God is sovereign over everything even our choices despite it does not look like that, he is still God. But some things God cant do like lie or to deny Himself. Would you become christian if you knew the bible is true? Many wont because they want to do their own will which leads to destruction at the end. I know that from my experience.
Yes, I have positive beliefs as an Atheist. The difference is that I can support them with reason and evidence, and I don't have to lie to protect them.

As for science I meant modern science (aka science as we veiw it today) And the father of modern science was considered to be Galileo Galilee who was a Christian and the inventor of the scientific method was also a Christian. Your atheistic science may lie with Aristotle but 4th century is a bit old school for me I responded to the reason and evidence part because you have failed to demonstrate that your positive beliefs and how to defend them. You have failed to show any reason and evidence for that position and positive belief you have taken as well.

40:50 For this question, our body was designed from the elements in our world. He brought Adam from the earth. He made the earth and the waters from separating the waters from the waters at the beginning of time. We’re 99% made up of nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen and carbon. Sounds a lot like earth and water to me. Our bodies were perfectly designed to come from the earth and return back to the earth.
Nope. Our body evolved from the elements in this world. Of course, an omnipotent God would have no need to limit himself to locally available elements.
Proving miracles or the supernatural exist doesn't get you any closer to proving theism. And I'm an atheist who is open to the idea there might be a supernatural. Now, Turek is saying a lot about the supernatural. But he can't explain the supernatural. He doesn't know how it works. Assuming the universe did have a supernatural origin, do we have any other information about it's origin? Do we know if a sentient being created the universe, or if it's creation was a "natural process of the supernatural?" No. Do we know how the supernatural created the universe? No. So, we're not anywhere closer to theism.
Is there any such thing as an atheists experience that gives credence to their atheistic position? What would that look like? What would be an example of such a thing?
@@enkidufive3349 No, more like simply evidence that could be considered good reasons to be an atheist. Maybe something like, what kind of experiences convince atheists that naturalism is true or even could be true. Something along those lines.
@@jessebryant9233 I simply read the Bible cover to cover. At that time, I was considering attending seminary. I'll give you two examples from a long line of problematic passages contained therein. Ezekiel, in chapter 26, declares in striking terms that Tyre would be destroyed so thoroughly by Nebuchadnezzer that it would never be found again. That didn't happen until 240 or so years later by Alexander. The reason Zeke gave for this destruction was "a saying". That doesn't seem quite fair, does it? The second has to do with David. If the law of Moses had been adhered to, he never should have been king. Deuteronomy 23:3 states that: "An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD forever:" David's great grandmother was Ruth, a Moabitess. According to the above passage, no Moabite should ever enter the congregation. It's not about naturalism being correct. It's about the Bible being wrong (in my view) on numerous topics.
@@enkidufive3349 *P1:* Why were you considering attending seminary? Also, it sounds like you're going to criticize the Christian view rather than make the case FOR your own view. Not very persuasive and I fail to see how that answers my question. *P2:* What? You'll need to a bit more specific than that... I mean, what exactly is your issue here? *P3-5:* Again, how does that answer my inquiry at all? I know I'm confused... Seems like maybe you are as well! Nothing you said is any kind of evidence/reason FOR having faith in naturalism. Nothing you've provided is a good reason to believe that naturalism (which must be true if atheism is true) is or even could be true.
@@jessebryant9233 I was a Southern Baptist. I believed. I'm also fairly well-spoken. That's why I was thinking of attending seminary. I still read and study the Bible, FYI. I'm not criticizing the Christian worldview, either. I'm critiquing a book with lots of improbable things written into it. It states that magic, witches, ghosts, and giants existed when, so far as we know, they don't and never have. The book states that one can breed livestock in the presence of peeled sticks and thus change the color of their offspring. The ancients tossed lots to get answers from their god. The Hebrew form of worship was no different than any other of the time, either. One would think this god would have something more unique to offer than what was established by heathens. Further, I didn't say I had any faith in naturalism, though the natural is all that can be measured and quantified. I'm not sure what your second point is referring to, either, so I really can't comment. Do you mean the part about David? Here's the gist of it: if a book, any book, presents things that can't be tested or are known to be false, it likely isn't true. Harry Potter books by their nature aren't true. They're fiction. I'm not saying the ancients disbelieved their own writings. I'm saying a lot of what they wrote was plain wrong therefore not believable. It wasn't uncommon in their time to think these things existed, but it is on ours. That's the basis of my apostasy.
Mocking people is one thing and is bad, but mocking a religion is entirely different. In my old IFB church, they would mock other Christian denominations then turn around and get offended, and I mean very offended, when other denominations laughed at what we believed. The thing is the Bible has talking snakes, talking donkeys, the sun standing still for a day, the Red Sea parting, people rising from the dead, etc. And these things might seem normal to those of us who were raised Christian, but for people who weren't, these things seem pretty laughable. We don't see these things happening everyday, and if someone came up to me and said, "My formerly dead Aunt came back to life," I would laugh at him, and this isn't a personal attack against him. I would just think he's pretty looney.
@Martin Luther You sound like a person that bends over in front of every narcissist that goes around. Completely delusional, having no critical thinking in place, childish beliefs, inability to challenge authority, perhaps inability to keep healhty boundaries. You really believe this nonsense? If you were born in India would you believe in Krishna or Allah in a different country?
If people dont truly understand Christianity and its History or our personal Faith in Christ, why would we not want to correct their misconceptions? We shouldnt just ignore it when people repeat the same talking points they hear from their professors, the media, and their friends, and not tell them they're wrong. Many people dont even personally know a Christian, so we should witness to them by telling them the truth and then asking God to speak to their hearts- some will be receptive, and some hearts will always remain hard- no matter how much evidence you show them.
Belief is so simple.... without a creator there is no point in any of this thing we call life. Nothing matters... whether you believe or not doesn't matter either... so therefore belief in the creator is a win-win situation. If you are right you are saved and will dwell with the lord for eternity. If you are wrong it never mattered anyway and when you pass you are just gone and your belief caused you no harm and your soul no foul. I know my lord and savior exists and I ask him to give me strength to follow him faithfully daily. No matter how many times I fall short of his glory I ask for the same strength each day in hopes of being even a small portion of what he meant me to be. God bless your soul if you choose to reject God. You are in a losing battle. If you're wrong and he exists you will be in hell for eternity. If your right nothing mattered anyway and all you did was live your life outside of faith with no sense of meaning until you passed. Likely living outside of the moral confines that we have decided are better for the longevity of society.

The Comedian faith is not a reliable method to discover what is actually true. You may not like the findings of science - but are they true? I am much happier sans deity, and find that modernity is not all that cancerous. But, you are welcome to your mythology.
Think about what evangelists are telling you - Believe and do as I say here today, or burn in hell in the afterlife (after you die) for eternity, as punishments for your sins on earth. Follow me and God and join God as a reward in heaven, in the afterlife, and eternal bliss for believing what I believe. If they are going to heaven in the afterlife because they are good, then it’s reasonable to assume that they came from heaven in the before life, because they are good. Why did they leave heaven in the beforelife (and not remember any of it) only to come to earth to be born, to tell us that we are going to hell?

Christian- "God loves you so much he sacrificed himself to himself to save you from himself." Atheist- "Ummmm what!? I don't believe you..." Christian- "why are you persecuting me!"
@G Will Yeah logical fallacies are a thing and theists can't seem to form an argument with out using them. Word salads!? That's another theistic tactic.
@Mr Dyntasy Why? So it can tell me what I already know. God created man, man sinned, god sent himself to save us from that sin. This is Christianity in a nut shell. God sent himself to save us from himself. I suggest you stop letting people tell you how to think and what to think. Try thinking for yourself.
Every great design,requires a GREAT DESIGNER .Yes God is rightfully TRUE and atheists simply do not want TRUTH and they simply want to live outside GOD’s perimeter of HOLY LAWS and CHARACTER OF GOD.Atheists simply want to be happy doing their OWN WILL.GOD BLESS you PTR Frank for your scholarly BOOKS.Jesus who knew no sin became sin for us all in order for us to have ETERNAL life with OUR Father God .May the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD teach you more and grant you more revelation for billions of people out there whose minds are in DARKNESS for IGNORANCE in HEBREW is DARKNESS OF THE MIND and HEART.
Because we can’t prosecute religious liars spreading misinformation you will continue to be mocked and ridiculed for believing in this ridiculous nonsense.
@Frank Bromley why are most atheist so egotistical and angry? And why do y’all care what other people believe in? Somehow I don’t believe y’all are real atheist but are being paid to argues back and forth. the atheist I know don’t have time to be commenting on Christian channels.
